System File Checker(SFC) 98SE

[A31Chris]

Since I ran across a reference to this on the internet and sometimes I have mouse lockup problems I figured I'd run this see what it comes up with. Here are its results:

System File Checker identified that the following may be corrupted:

setupx.dll

C:\Windows\system

It asks if I want to restore file and then it looks in 'C:\Windows\CATROOT' and finds nothing. Quick search on the internet indicates the original 98 SFC had a problem with this very file among a couple others. So before I go on I would like some advice. Should I download setupx.dll off the net or point it to some cab file somewhere on my system or on the 98SE disk? Should I take this 'corrupted file' case seriously? Should I go forward?

Need advice. Thanks!

Ah nm. Looks like a problem with SFC.

Also found this for mouse lockup problems. Going to give it a shot. My graphics card is an ATI AIW 9600XT

Try that mouse on another computer, if the usb continues to work. It maybe the trouble.
